I'll Get Ahead Someday Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

I'LL GET AHEAD SOMEDAY 

Writer Mack Magaha 

I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday 

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday 

Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends 

But I don't realize till I get home what an awful shape I'm in 

The car's wore out kids need shoes got a bill from doctor today 

And the landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay 

But I'll get ahead someday... 

All I can hear there's a sale downtown I gotta have some money today 

But there's things at home that's never been used you bought last bargain day 

Well I tell hurt we'll have to cut down here is what you said 

What's mine is mine what's yours is mine that's how I got this mess 

But I'll get ahead someday... 

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday
